HP c-Class Blade SUV Cable

Item Connector Description

1 Server blade

For connecting to the SUV connector on the

server blade front panel

2 Video For connecting a video monitor

3 USB For connecting up to two USB devices

4 Serial

For trained personnel to connect a null modem

serial cable and perform advanced diagnostic

procedures

Operations 10

Operations

Power up the server blade

The enclosure initiates an automatic power-up sequence when the server blade is installed. If the default

setting is changed, use one of the following methods to power up the server blade:

•

Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 2.

•

Press and release the Power On/Standby button.

When the server blade goes from the standby mode to the full power mode, the system power LED

changes from amber to green.

For more information about the enclosure, see the enclosure setup and installation guide on the HP

website (http://www.hp.com/support

).

For more information about iLO 2, see "Integrated Lights-Out 2 technology (on page 48)."

Power down the server blade

Before powering down the server blade for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup

of critical server data and programs.

Depending on the enclosure configuration, use one of the following methods to power down the server

blade:

•

Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 2.

This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server

blade enters standby mode.

•

Press and release the Power On/Standby button.

This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade

enters standby mode.

•

Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server blade to

shut down.

This method forces the server blade to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and

the OS. It provides an emergency shutdown method in the event of a hung application.

IMPORTANT: When the server blade is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being

provided. To remove all power from the server blade, remove the server blade from the

enclosure.

After initiating a virtual power down command, be sure that the server blade goes into standby mode by

observing that the system power LED is amber.

Installing an HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure

Before performing any server blade-specific procedures, install an HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.

The most current documentation for server blades and other HP BladeSystem components is available at

the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation

).

Documentation is also available in the following locations:

•

Documentation CD that ships with the enclosure

•

HP Business Support Center website (http://www.hp.com/support)

•

HP Technical Documentation website (http://docs.hp.com)

Installing server blade options

Before installing and initializing the server blade, install any server blade options, such as an additional

processor, hard drive, or mezzanine card. For server blade options installation information, see the HP

ProLiant BL260c Generation 5 Server Blade User Guide on the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation

).

Installing interconnect modules

For specific steps to install interconnect modules, see the documentation that ships with the interconnect

module.

Setup 13

Interconnect bay numbering and device mapping

•

HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure

•

HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure

To support network connections for specific signals, install an interconnect module in the bay

corresponding to the embedded NIC or mezzanine signals.

The server blade does not provide mezzanine signals for interconnect bays 3 and 4 (c7000 enclosure) or for

interconnect bay 2 (c3000 enclosure).

Setup 14

For detailed port mapping information, see the HP BladeSystem enclosure installation poster or the

HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide on the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation

).

Connecting to the network

To connect the HP BladeSystem to a network, each enclosure must be configured with network

interconnect devices to manage signals between the server blades and the external network.

Two types of interconnect modules are available for HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures: Pass-thru modules

and switch modules. For more information about interconnect module options, see the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/interconnects

).

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the enclosure

unless all bays are populated with a component or a blank.

1.

Remove the device bay blank.

Setup 15

2.

Remove the enclosure connector cover.

3.

Prepare the server blade for installation.

Setup 16

4.

Completing the configuration

To complete the server blade and HP BladeSystem configuration, see the overview card that ships with the

enclosure.

Hardware options installation 17

Hardware options installation

Introduction

If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options

and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
